“I’m not gay but if I was, dude I’d totally tap your doctor.”

“Is he hot?”

“Totally dude. He’s got a great body, not built but athletic.  The bluest eyes you’ve ever seen.  Nice tight ass…”

“Are you sure you’re not gay Casey?” Luke asked as he laughed at his best friend describing his male doctor like he was some hot babe he wanted to score ( Read more... )

“Dr. Reid Oliver?”

Reid looked up at the woman standing before him before replying, “Yes, and you are?”

“Lucinda Walsh.”

“Should I be impressed?”

“Yes, you should.  Now aren’t you going to invite me to sit down?”

“By all means please have a seat.  I have a feeling you’d have a seat whether I invite you to or not.”

As Lucinda dropped gracefully ( Read more... )

Two Weeks Later

Reid walked out of his office and noticed Luke sitting in the waiting area, listening to something on his iPod.  He walked over to where Luke was sitting and tapped gently on his shoulder as he stepped in front of him. Startled, Luke pulled his earbuds out and turned towards where he assumed the person was standing.

“It’s Dr ( Read more... )

Chapter 6

Reid wandered around the living room while Luke expertly worked in the kitchen getting the pie and ice cream ready.  He walked over to the coffee table where what appeared to be a chess set was sitting, only it looked like no chess set he'd ever seen before.  He picked up one of the pieces and fingered it.

"Is this a chess set?"

"On the ( Read more... )

Chapter 7

Luke lay in bed, “staring” at the ceiling.  He pushed the button on his clock to hear the time for umpteenth time in the last hour.

“The time is now 1:45 am.”

He had tried to sleep but every time he closed his eyes he kept seeing the kiss from his earlier fantasy. And the kiss, while not real, had felt unlike any kiss he had ever shared ( Read more... )

Chapter 8

Reid lounged on Katie's couch holding a snoozing Jacob while the blonde finished making dinner.  It was Katie's turn to host their weekly dinner, which was fine by Reid who was exhausted after a four-car pileup lead to a 6-hour emergency surgery to save a man who hadn't been wearing a seatbelt and flew through the windshield of his car.  ( Read more... )

Chapter 9

Several weeks past and Luke continued physical therapy, Noah continued to have emergencies at work and Reid saved more lives, while also getting more and more suspicious of Noah.

Reid was walking towards the nurse’s station to drop off a chart when he saw Luke coming down the hall.

"Mr. Snyder, just get out of PT?"

"Oh hey Reid.  Yeah, just ( Read more... )

Chapter 10

Sunlight was peeking through a slit in the blinds when Luke began to stir.  He felt an unfamiliar but not unpleasant weight on his chest.  His hands explored and from what he could tell Reid was laying with his head on his chest, his right arm flung across the blonde's body.  Luke realized that his own right arm was around Reid's back.  ( Read more... )

Chapter 11

At hospital, Reid again began barking orders at all the staff.  He ordered every neurological scan he could think of just to make sure Luke was okay.  He was looking over one of the scans when he saw it, a blood vessel that was dangerously close to bursting.  There was a small mass that was pushing on the vessel.   He hadn't seen it on ( Read more... )

Chapter 12

Five days had past since Luke had passed out in a Chicago hotel lobby and the young man was still unconscious in the ICU.  As his doctor, Reid checked on him during his rounds, but kept the visits short and professional.  However, once his shift and visiting hours were over, he would return to Luke's room for a more personal visit.
